The Russians used the Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time during the morning attack on Dnipro on 21 November. This missile is a potential carrier of nuclear warheads.
Quote: "Russian forces attacked the city of Dnipro (targeting businesses and critical infrastructure) with various types of missiles between 05:00 and 07:00 on the morning of 21 November 2024.
Specifically, an intercontinental ballistic missile was launched from Russia’s Astrakhan Oblast, a Kh-47M2 Kinzhal air-launched ballistic missile was fired from a MiG-31K fighter jet from Tambov Oblast and seven Kh-101 cruise missiles were launched from Tu-95MS strategic bombers (in Volgograd Oblast).
As a result of the combat efforts, Air Force anti-aircraft missile units destroyed six Kh-101 missiles. The other missiles did not cause any significant damage."
They also urged media outlets and bloggers to act responsibly when sharing information regarding the combat activities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and any threats to Ukraine.
